Do you really want your business to fail?
Follow any one of these methods closely, and you’ll be part of the 40% of businesses that don’t survive the first year. However, if you are tired of failing and want to try something different, keep reading to learn what NOT to do.
Method 1: Following Generic Startup Advice Without Question
You’ll find countless guides online preaching market research, business plans, budgets, and cash flow management. Follow them blindly, and you might just set yourself up for failure, because success comes from smart planning tailored to your unique business, not copying generic checklists.
Method 2: Chasing Get-Rich-Quick Business Schemes on YouTube
If you delve into YouTube searching for “make fast money” or “start a 7-figure business,” you’ll find an endless stream of flashy videos promising overnight success. Look for the classic signs: someone gasping in surprise, whispering secret tips, or flashing piles of cash and luxury cars. Following these hype-filled shortcuts is a fast track to disappointment because real business success takes more than watching videos. It requires consistent action and proven strategies tailored to your product or service, and your market.
Method 3: Expecting Luck to Build Your Business
After setting up your business, if you simply sit back waiting for luck to strike and turn your idea into a booming empire, prepare to be disappointed. Relying on chance without marketing, networking, or improving your product is almost guaranteed to lead to failure. Successful entrepreneurs don’t wait for luck - they create it through deliberate effort and smart decision-making every day.
But don't worry. Once your business has failed, you'll be in good company.
